The Heavy have been hitting it HEAVY since their now legendary performance of their hit single 'How You Like Me Now?' on The Late Show with David Letterman, when Letterman himself requested an encore for the first time in the history of the show. The Heavy obliged and the rest is history...
'How You Like Me Now?' was then featured as the soundtrack for KIA Sorento's adorable and extremely reactive commercial, which became an internet sensation. The commercial has received well over 1.3 million views on YouTube and The Heavy's Music Video for 'How You Like Me Now?' has received over 1.6 million views.
All of a sudden, sports arenas and stadiums nationwide are playing "How You Like Me Now?," the song was featured during the MTV Movie Awards, the French Open, the Stanley Cup Finals, a pivotal Ari Gold Redemption scene in Entourage, and recent trailers for the movie 'Faster' , to NBC's 'Outlaw', starring Jimmy Smits, to USA's 'White Collar' season finale and to A&E's 'Lawman,' starring Steven Seagal. Last but certainly not least, the band was recently featured on the AOL.com homepage with their live performance on Spinner's The Interface.
